Description

Timestamp to Date conversion fails with following Exception with rel/nifi-1.8.0 branch:

[ERROR] testTimestampToDate(org.apache.nifi.serialization.record.TestDataTypeUtils)  Time elapsed: 0.008 s  <<< ERROR!
org.apache.nifi.serialization.record.util.IllegalTypeConversionException: Cannot convert value [2018-12-12 10:45:26.478] of type class java.sql.Timestamp to Date for field null
        at org.apache.nifi.serialization.record.TestDataTypeUtils.testTimestampToDate(TestDataTypeUtils.java:67)

But NIFI-5333 added supporting this. This JIRA adds an unit test case to assert that conversion works.
